CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) - Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer will retire after the Rose Bowl. He made the decision after coming to grips with a cyst in his brain that had developed significantly in recent years.

Meyer officially announced the decision at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

Meyer will use the press conference to formally announce his retirement from coaching following Ohio State’s appearance in the Rose Bowl Game, and Smith will name Day as the 25th head coach in the history of the program, beginning Jan. 2.

He had brain surgery to drain the cyst in the spring of 2014, and another surgery is an option for treatment.
